The First Measured Century | Lesson Plan 6: The Great Depression: What would it be like today?
The First Measured Century project presents a unique look at American History, using data to show us where we've been and where we might be going. In this lesson students calculate the percentage decline in factors affecting the quality of life such as wages and unemployment, from before the Depression to the beginning of the New Deal.
